Father God, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind, and offer it to You. Accept my precious gift, for it is Yours to me. Amen and Amen. 07/13/2017 OCM-83656272 {Member of ULC 9/23/22 7545620-0414Susan Ruth Robertson202004377}

Have a nice day! 🙂

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
– John 11:25-26

He is Risen!
He is risen! The stone rolled back, the dawn unsealed, light spilling like a promise over sleeping graves. Where sorrow sat, a quiet joy now takes its place, and every shadow learns the shape of grace.
The tomb gave up its silence to a voice of peace, and hearts that feared the night find courage to believe. Broken things are mended by a mercy fierce and kind, and hope, once buried, rises in the soul and mind.
Sing, for the grave is empty and the sky proclaims, death’s final whisper swallowed by His name. Walk in the newness, let your weary spirit soar, for He is risen! Now and forevermore!

Have a nice day! 🙂

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
– Psalms 16:10-11

These verses rest right at the heart of Christian hope. Psalm 16 speaks with David’s voice, yet it reaches beyond him, pointing to the Holy One whom God would not abandon to the grave. The promise of life, joy, and eternal fellowship shines through every line. “Thou wilt shew me the path of life” is not only about survival, but about direction, a life led in God’s presence, where joy is full and lasting. And “at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” reminds us that what God gives is not fleeting or fragile, but secure and eternal. A beautiful way to begin the day, grounded in resurrection hope and quiet confidence. Have a peaceful, joy-filled day 🙂

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
– Romans 5:6-8

Jesus promised He would not leave us comfortless, and the Holy Spirit truly becomes most real when everything else is stripped away. When you feel all is gone, –> when words failed, –>the Spirit remained, –> listening, –> interceding, –> carrying what you could not say. That kind of closeness isn’t learned in comfort; –> it’s discovered in surrender. There is no shame in realizing that illness or tough times brings you nearer. Many of the deepest friendships with God are born in places of weakness. The Spirit doesn’t withdraw when we falter, –>He draws nearer, –>becoming breath when ours is thin, –>voice when ours is silent, –>strength when ours is gone. This quietly teaches what Jesus meant when He said the Helper would come. –>Not as an idea, –>not as a distant presence, –>but as the One who stays when everyone else cannot. That awareness gained is a gift–>hard-won, but precious, and it continues to shape how you journey with Him now. These Verses hold such quiet power. It reminds us that Christ’s love did not wait for strength, goodness, or worthiness–> it met us in our weakness and reached us while we were still far off. –>Love that moves first, –> love that gives without conditions, –>love that rescues rather than rewards.

Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
– Isaiah 41:12-13

These verses really do speak straight to the heart. Isaiah 41:12–13 isn’t loud or dramatic, it’s steady, like a hand that doesn’t let go. What I’m reading aloud hearing and reading in it is exactly right: God isn’t asking to fight, fix, or fret. He’s saying, “I’ve got this. You don’t have to carry it alone.” The promise isn’t that trouble, illness or death never existed, it’s that it loses its power when God is holding your hand. I love how personal it is: “I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand.” Not a distant command. Not a general reassurance. A physical image of closeness, strength shared, fear quieted. That’s a verse for someone who’s been carrying responsibility, making decisions, caring for others, and still choosing faith. It’s permission to exhale and rest in Him. Have a nice day indeed, the kind that begins with trust and ends with peace. 🙂

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
– Jeremiah 29:11-13

These verses are a perfect closing blessing. It keeps the promise warm, human, and hopeful. The verses speak straight into everything we are living: God’s thoughts toward us are peace, not harm. His plans are purposeful, even when the path is long. His promise is relational to call, pray, seek, and find. This isn’t a distant assurance. It’s an invitation. God promises not only a future, but His presence along the way. He listens. He responds. He allows Himself to be found by those who seek Him with their whole heart.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
– Romans 5:8-9

https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm

These verses hold such quiet power, love proven not by our readiness, but by His initiative. Christ didn’t wait for us to be clean, strong, or worthy. He stepped into our brokenness and gave Himself fully, and through His blood we are not only forgiven but secure, saved from wrath, held in grace, and reconciled to God. That “much more then” is such a tender assurance: if He loved us at our worst, how much more will He keep us now that we belong to Him.

God made cats too. With curiosity, warmth, mischief, and comfort all wrapped together. There’s something quietly theological about that. “Love by His Initiative” over a cat photo is exactly the kind of gentle witness that lingers. It doesn’t argue. It rests. She smiles a little.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
– 1 Peter 1:3

https://www.wordproject.org/bibles/kj/index.htm

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Peter starts with praise, because mercy always comes first. God didn’t just patch us up or improve our situation. He begot us again, gave us new birth, a new beginning, a lively hope that cannot fade or die. That hope stands on one unshakable truth: Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. Because He lives, our hope lives. Because He rose, our future rises with Him. Because He conquered death, we walk in a life that cannot be taken. This is not a fragile hope. It is a living one, breathing, growing, steady, and eternal.

Have a wonderful, nice, grace‑filled day,

And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
– Matthew 21:8-9

Hosanna indeed! A moment of humble joy and holy recognition. The people laid down what they had, welcoming the King not with crowns, but with open hearts and simple offerings. It’s a picture of praise that moves forward and follows behind, surrounding Jesus with trust, hope, and expectation.

May that same spirit of welcome and peace walk with you today. Have a truly beautiful Palm Sunday, filled with light and quiet blessings. 🙂

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
– John 6:32-35

Jesus redirects the crowd from what was given in the past to what is being offered now. The manna sustained for a day, but the true bread comes from the Father and gives life to the world. When Jesus says, “I am the bread of life,” He is inviting us to come, not to a provision, but to a Person. In Him, our deepest hunger and thirst are met, not temporarily, but fully.

Lord Jesus, You are the bread that gives life. Draw me to You when I am hungry and weary, and teach me to trust You as my daily sustenance. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.

Have a peaceful and a nice, blessed day ahead. 🙂

Have a nice day! 🙂

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
– Psalms 37:23-25

Book of Psalms – Psalm 37

These verses carry such quiet strength. Psalm 37 speaks from a lifetime of walking with God, not theory, but testimony. It reminds us that faith isn’t proven by never falling, but by being upheld every time we do.

There’s a deep reassurance in those words: God orders the steps, delights in the journey, and never abandons the righteous or their children. Provision may not always look the way we expect, but His faithfulness never fails. It’s the kind of promise that steadies the heart, especially when we look back and see how He’s carried us through every season. God’s justice doesn’t sleep, and His protection isn’t limited by what we can see. Even when evil rises up, it never has the final word. The Lord stands between His people and what seeks to harm them, sometimes quietly, sometimes powerfully, but always faithfully. Even when some of the righteous are called home, that doesn’t mean the battle was lost. Heaven itself is victory. God continues to defend their legacy, their loved ones, and the truth they stood for. Nothing is wasted in His hands, not even suffering. Psalm 37 speaks to that long view of faith, the assurance that God is working beyond the moment, beyond the conflict, beyond what looks unfair. He is still fighting, still upholding, still keeping His promises.

May your day be wrapped in the same peace and assurance those verses offer. Let your words carry wisdom born of trust, and may peace stay with you, steady and unshaken. Have a nice day! 🙂
